1928: The rise of giant merchants
Chapter 551 Lobbying
At this time, the Northwest Army not only achieved brilliant results in Lu Province, but was also invincible in Henan Province.
It is a pity that Feng Yuxiang made a mistake in strategic command. He ignored his generals' plan to pursue the victory and drive the Central Army's miscellaneous troops out of Wusheng Pass. Instead, he mobilized troops to attack the elite Central Army in Lu Province. As a result, he could not defeat them for a while and lost the opportunity. The war situation in Shandong Province has entered a stalemate stage.
Even so, the war situation was still very unfavorable to the Central Army. The principal was worried about this. While sending people to contact the generals of Feng Yan's coalition forces, hoping to use silver bullets to bribe and instigate rebellion, he also sent people to the north with huge sums of money to find Zhang Hanqing for help.
Several people discussed and discussed, but could not find a better way to persuade Zhang Hanqing, but they were not willing to go to Ye Luo to help them persuade Zhang Hanqing. The final result of the discussion was to continue sending envoys with heavy money to the north to find Zhang Hanqing.
Zhang Hanqing learned from the past and followed Ye Luo's advice in the early stages of the Central Plains War. He had nothing to do with the two and sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight. He would never lead troops out of the border to give the Japanese an opportunity - although he did not think the Japanese had invaded. Guan Nei’s courage and determination.
At this time, he was taking his wife and children to spend the summer in Beidaihe, and the threshold of his family was almost broken. Not only did the principal send people to persuade him, but Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan also sent people to contact him, all trying to win Zhang Hanqing to his side. In the end, If not, we have to let him stay in Guanzhong and not come out to stir up trouble.
The new envoys sent by the principal have a strong lineup, including important figures such as Li Shizeng, Fang Benren, Wu Tiecheng and Zhang Qun. These people are the backbone of the principal's faction. Zhang Qun also serves as the mayor of Shanghai Bund and was sent by the principal to lobby in the north. Zhang Hanqing.
This actually made Bai Xiong happy. As soon as Zhang Qun left, he temporarily took over the power in Shanghai and enjoyed the pleasure of that kind of power.
As for Zhang Qun and others, they did everything they could. They not only spent money to lobby Zhang Hanqing, but also bribed Zhang Hanqing's generals and adjutants.
Wherever Zhang Hanqing went, Zhang Qun and others who had a close personal relationship with him chased him wherever they went, trying to play mahjong and chat with him. The family members they brought with them also pestered Yu Fengzhi, Zhao Yidi and others every day, also pestering and beating him. Mahjong.
Every time, Zhang Hanqing emphasized that he was playing casual mahjong and not talking about state affairs. Zhang Qun and others were laughing and playing political mahjong. When they were given a piece of 90,000 yuan, they smiled and said it was given to you by the principal. When they were given a big cake, they said it was given to you by Yan Xishan and the others, which made Zhang Hanqing dumbfounded. .
Even the principal later sent someone to directly deliver the letter of appointment and seal, appointed Zhang Hanqing as deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy and air force, and urged him to come to Jinling to take up the post!
Zhang Hanqing still had the same hesitant character. He wanted to go out and fight.
After all, since the death of the commander-in-chief, his first battle when he took over the Northern Army was a big defeat. During the China-Eastern Railway incident, he was full of confidence and wanted to give Mao Zi a blow, but he was beaten to the point where he was running away. If Mao Zi hadn't come in, Meaning, whether he can hold on to his commander-in-chief's mansion is still a question.
Now Zhang Hanqing, as well as his Northern Army officers and soldiers, are in urgent need of a big victory to boost their morale. The Central Plains War is obviously the best time, but he is still afraid of another defeat after joining the war, and another fear of being defeated again. In Ye Luo's words, stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice.
Seeing Zhang Hanqing's gloomy look, Zhang Qun felt that he had a chance, so he chatted with him privately one night. After drinking for three times, he finally understood what he meant.
And the one who can control what he thinks is Ye Luo!
After seeing through all this, Zhang Qun did not continue to stay in Fengtian. Instead, he packed lightly and took the train directly back to Shanghai. He did not even return to his own home. He first took his things to visit Ye Luo at Ye Mansion.
Ye Mansion, living room.
"Aluo, this is a souvenir I brought back from the north. It's not a gold or silver treasure. You can always accept it, right?" Zhang Qun sat down with a smile. When he came over, he specifically asked his secretary to call Bai Xiongqi. .
At this moment, deputy mayor Bai Xiongqi and his sister Bai Xiuzhu are sitting together. He is rich and prosperous because his sister married Ye Luo. Now he wants to go further and must flatter the principal. There is an excellent opportunity in front of him. He also Regardless of his sister always reminding him that Ye Luo doesn't like to get involved in politics, he still ran over.
"A Luo, this is Mayor Zhang's wish, just accept it." Bai Xiongqi acted like an uncle, with his sister sitting beside him, and Ye Luo had to be respectful when facing him.
On the sofa on the other side, Ye Yuqiao and Li Shuzhen were sitting, while Bi Yunxia was working in the kitchen with Xiao Aqiao, Meng Xiaodong, Hu Die and others.
"No reward for no merit. Uncle, if I accept this pile of things, I have to comply with Mayor Zhang's request." Ye Luo raised his eyebrows. Zhang Qun hurried back from the north. What was he going to do? Everyone knows it, and now he comes to visit him whenever he arrives in Shanghai. It can be said that everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions.
"Oh, A Luo, this matter really has to be done by you. Nowadays, wars are raging, the people are suffering unspeakably, and the country is in many catastrophes. The party is determined to unify the country, seek benefits for the people, and create peace for all generations." Zhang Qun came up and said that he was a moral person. kidnapping.
He really had to beg Ye Luo for this matter.
With his current position in the Kuomintang, it will be difficult for him to move forward from this position if he works for a few more years. The principal has also hinted many times that if Zhang Qun wants to go from Shanghai to the core power center of Jinling, he must come up with something that is enough to convince the public. Performance.
With Zhang Qun gone, Bai Xiongqi has room to rise to the top.
Both of them were ants on a hot pot, running around anxiously.
"Stop, stop, stop, you don't need to tell me more about these big principles." Ye Luo waved his hand to interrupt him, "The war was started by the central government. When Feng Yuxiang was under house arrest, the principal should not be so greedy. There would be no such thing. There is a battle in the Central Plains. You want me to go north to persuade Han Qing, but I don’t want to go through this muddy water."
"Aluo, if the war ends as soon as possible, the common people can take a breather as soon as possible." Bai Xiongqi said earnestly, "Before you went to the north to provide disaster relief, I know you really wanted to do something practical. You don't want to continue to see Life will be ruined."
"Now that Yan Xishan and the others have the upper hand, if they want to end the war as soon as possible, they should help them. How about I go north to persuade Han Qing to send troops to help them defeat the principal?"
Ye Luo looked at the two of them teasingly.
Only Ye Luo dared to say such treacherous words in front of so many people.
Both of them looked ugly. Even though they knew he was telling a joke, they still felt like they were being slapped in the face.
"The Central Army seems to be at a disadvantage, but if Yan Xishan and the others win, there will be another battle between Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, and they will not surrender to anyone. In addition, the principal has fallen, and Wang Mou, who is eyeing him in Jiangcheng, People will also wait for opportunities to act, and if this happens, the country will really be doomed."
Ye Yuqiao, who had retreated behind the scenes, suddenly spoke. (End of chapter)
